The whole east end of the building, where the offices were situated, was a mass of fiames when the firemen arrived there, and though they did all that was humanly possible to save the remaining portion of the building, they were not able to prevent it from burning. The strong wind and the smoke from the burning goods adâ€" ded to the difficulties of the firemen and the town has every reason to be proud of the way they worked. Mr. Harry Austin, local manager of the National Grocers, very thoughtfully furnished coffee to the firemen after they had ' been working on the fire for some time, which was greatly appreciated. which he could be sent. The unforâ€" tunate man was given a term of three months. "The total loss will probably be around $130,000.00 _ While this fire was terrible enough and will be regretted by the whole community, it is well to remember that even including the loss suffered in this fire, the total fire loss in Cochrane since the general conflaâ€" gration of 1916, will still be comparaâ€" tively small and if averaged over the thirteen years since that disaster, will compare quite favourably wth the fire losses of other towns." sUDBURY HAS QUITE A FEW VOLUNTARY VAGRANTS NOW the fire had got such a start before it THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO SKETGHES OF PLAYERS ON THE IROQUOIS FALLS TEAM BURNS FRASER.

The necessity for securing large membership for the board was freely admitted by all. Not only do the membership fees proâ€" vide a means of financing the work, but still more important is the interest created by as many as possible belonsgâ€" ing to the board. In the past few years the board of trade here has done excellent work, but those in charge frankly admit that far more could have been accomplished if there ‘"h\aa been more general interest shown. There were a few who gave much time and effort to the work and the officers were particularly energetic and generâ€" ous in their services, but if the people in general had all taken an interest the work for the advantage of the community would have been greatly increased and advanced.
